Can any quants advise on this? Also, how is work culture for quant research? Thinking of applying.

I don’t think I can have a good career in BlackRock under my current manager.

Realized a little bit late in my career that I care about finance more than tech. I'm a solid SWE so combining the two would make my work feel more meaningful. I've never had a problem landing interviews in the past, but with fintech I'm stuck in the "you need fintech experience" loop even though I ...Read more
